On the outcome tonight rests the fu ture of Penn State’s participation in the Na tional Student Association. Cabinet trends at this juncture can be interpreted as tolling defeat for NSA tonight when it comes up for an appro priation in next year’s budget. Let us try to stem that trend, and tell why we do: NSA CAN BE of vital importance to every student at Penn State; but on the contrary it’s probably one of the least known and most mis understood organizations on campus. NSA has never surmounted, at Penn State, the miscon ception that.it is just another club on campus. It hasn’t beaten down the universally-twisted Nittany notion that the 40-or-so students who have taken an active NSA interest in the past two years are the only NSA people hereabouts. Never scratching the Man on the Mall's cranium is the true fact that ALL Penn Slate students are NSA members. (Just for the record, Penn Slate students were highly in strumental in the forming of NSA over two years ago). NSA can be called a national association of more than 200 student bodies. But there’s much more to it. It’s an association of students them selves, represented on national, regional and sub-regional levels by student leaders and or ganized to alleviate common problems and to promote common interests. BUT BENEFITS from national and regional NSA contacts have not accrued well for Penn State in its two-year affiliation. This is primar ily because the local NSA has been shunted to the status of one of a myriad of all-College Cabi net committees. As such, it has.undertaken some hard and-thankless jobs—for example, setting up a campus chest for next fall and putting the Student Government Room into operation—an - ! has certainly worked creditably. But our point is that such a setup, with NSA - virtually non-dislinguishable from any other Cabinet committee, Penn State is missing the prime purpose of a national organization it helped to create. Productive contacts with, regional and national NSA have appeared to be nil, or if they've yielded anything the yield has been held to a back seat in favor of NSA operations as one of a number of Cabinet com mittees. Consequently, we have the charge levied by several Cabinet members that the work NSA accomplished this year, while very good, could have been done by any Cabinet-appointed froup, without the name NSA and without the 1,000 allotted to NSA by Cabinet. WE BELIEVE there is sufficient good to be gleaned from a Penn State tie with NSA to warrant continued NSA appropriations out of the all-College budget. But we qualify it: 1) The local NSA should be stripped of its present status as another working Cabinet com mittee; 2) All-College Cabinet, the highest student government organ, should itself become the ACTIVE NSA on campus, as is the case at most NSA-affiliated colleges; 3) The all-College vice-president, or some other high officer, should be appointed by Cabi net to handle all contacts with the national and regional NSA, to screen suggestions and tips, and to keep Cabinet informed on NSA affairs at other schools; 4) Cabinet members, as the ACTIVE NSA or. campus, should be the ones who go to the re gional and national NSA conclaves. In short, displant the present “NSA com mittee" with Cabinet itself, thus putting the NSA situation— a la Pehn State—on a correct, square footing. When one digs out from under a pile of books, , term papers, and class notes nowadays and takes a glance around the campus, he gets the im pression that this is the time of the “new look’ < at Penn State. ’ FOR ONE THING, it’s Spring—at least ac cording to the calendar—and the days have been - getting warmer and brighter. It's also the' time of elections. New Cabinet and class officers have been named and will be installed in their positions this week, lak t ing over the reins of student government on campus. In addition, the Inlerfrajernily Coun cil has chosen new officers, and the Associa ’ lion of Independent Men is giving itself a face-lifting by reorganizing its constitution. New student councils also have selected. In the realm of athletics, Rip Engle has taken 1 command as head football coach and he is ex pected to revolutionize Penn State football by 1 replacing the single wing attack ' with the winged-T. , LOOKING A BIT into the future, the Col- lege will have a full-time president for the , first time in nearly three years when Milton. ' S. Eisenhower steps into that job. July 1. New dormitories are being erected and already have changed the face of the campus,' and even more-new construction is planned. i . The arrival of freshman women on campus this year and the prospect of having freshman men back riext Fall also has wrought changes. < THINGS JUST AREN'T the same as they ~ were this time last year. Collegian hopes all the changes will be for the good and that there will J be even more of the “new look” in the ensuing • year. —Tom Mora— THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

"We did pretty well on this cuff with the 'Physics' course but I'm afraid yer stuck with the 'American Revolution' on the other." Startling Mailbox The forces of sex in America are converging Upon the Daily Collegian. . / . • The first assault upon the ramparts of College chastity came sneaking over the AP wire recently, in the form of a preview of; Kinsey’s “Sexual Behavior in the. Human Female,” one of the few.' books in publishing history with a guaranteed readership of 150,- 000;000 a year before publication. REVOLTED .though we were by the mere existence of such ero tica, we nevertheless felt it our duty to scan the story 10 or 12 times. Certain facts, gloated upon by the dirty-minded AP, were repeated in the second breach of the DC’s lily-white walls—a four-page letter from Redbook magazine, gleefully announcing: “Kinsey-Report on Women is Previewed in Redbook.” • (Stop slobbering, Myrtle, we’re coming to the dirty part). -' The very same day, another long letter appeared, this time from the Author's Press, whatever that is, warning of dire results to mankind, unless that organization races post haste to the nearest pornographer and purchase a copy of "Human Fertility." Now, the more disconcerting of these two learned sex books is the Kinsey Report 11. We quote the Redbook advance: “ . . . One-third of college women who marry never attain com plete, sexual satisfaction.” The solution would seem to be for college women who wish to attain such satisfaction to shun, marriage as the plague, but. this would be liable to lead to complications: . ANOTHER LUGUBRIOUS note is struck by the good Dr. Kin sey, in his announcement that whereas most males achieve maximum sexual enjoyment in their teens, a woman’s prime time, so to speak, doesn’t arrive until she is 29. This is a pretty lousy arrangement on someone’s part, and probably is second only to the invention of the twin bed as a cause of divorce. • This stuff goes on, page after delightful page, but.after you’re completely satiated with this “how to be happy though married” material, and you can think of other things, one question puzzles you. Of course, it’s very nice and all that, but, how does the Collegian rate all this? Oh, well, who’s complaining?
